Abstract (en)

A replaceable top tube includes an outer tube (10) and an inner tube (100) retractably received therein. Two sleeves (20,20') are respectively connected to the outer tube (10) and the inner tube (100), and two locking plates (40) are respectively connected to the two sleeves. Two hooks (30) are respectively connected to the inner tube (100) and the outer tube (10) so that when the sleeves are pulled, the locking plates (40) are moved away from the hooks (30) so as to hook the seat post and the handlebar stem of a bicycle. Each of the two sleeves are positioned by a resilient member (16). <IMAGE>
